Alexandria (VA) Assisted Living Facilities & Senior Lifestyle Options

There comes a time in an elderly person's life where living alone is no longer the safest option. This is usually because the elderly person is not capable to take care of themselves properly without some kind of assistance. Typically it means they need help with daily activities such as cleaning, preparing meals, grocery shopping, dressing themselves, and more importantly, managing their medication. Once the option of living independently without assistance is gone, family members are often faced with tough decisions about their loved one's future. Oftentimes, in-home care isn't an option because the family is unable to provide the level of care needed.

When this is the situation, an assisted living facility may be the best option.

An assisted living facility, or ALFs, is a place of residence for elderly people who can't completely care for themselves on a day to day basis without some form of assistance. At an assisted living facility the elderly resident has access to all the basic amenities found at a home, plus a few extra perks such as a community of others to socialize with, recreational activities, medication management and many more. Each facility, of course, is different when it comes to amenities but most ALFs provide 3 hot meals per day, medication management, health services, and services known as ADLs, which stands for Assisted Daily Living. These services include transportation to places outside the facility, assistance with getting dressed, cooking, keeping house and many other daily living skills that the elderly can no longer perform independently.
